When Patients Miss Lab Appointments, Your Practice Feels It Too

By TeQuaidas Clinical Team

The Lab Order Is Only the First Step

A provider can order the right laboratory tests, but the process is not complete until the specimen is successfully collected. For some patients, getting to a traditional laboratory collection site can be difficult because of transportation, mobility, work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or other barriers. When the collection does not happen, the result can be a delayed appointment, delayed follow-up, or additional coordination for your staff. A Simple Collection Solution TeQuaidas Diagnostics helps bridge the gap between the lab order and specimen collection. Our certified phlebotomy team provides mobile specimen collection in the patient's home or office throughout Metro Atlanta.

Your Existing Lab Relationship Can Stay in Place

TeQuaidas Diagnostics is designed to support the laboratory workflow already established by your practice. Your practice orders the testing. We help make the collection happen. Depending on the patient's requisition and testing requirements, specimens can be routed to Quest Diagnostics, Labcorp, Rupa Health, or specialty laboratories.

This means mobile collection can become an extension of your patient's care process rather than a replacement for your existing laboratory relationships. How Mobile Collection Works Your patient receives the laboratory order or requisition. The patient schedules a mobile collection visit. A certified phlebotomist comes to the patient's scheduled location. The specimen is collected according to the applicable requirements. The specimen is routed to the appropriate laboratory. Results continue through the normal laboratory/provider process.

Designed Around Your Practice

For providers, TeQuaidas also offers tools for ordering draws, requesting STAT collection, uploading patient results to a secured account, and accessing provider resources.

Patients Who May Benefit Mobile specimen collection can be particularly useful for patients who: Have transportation challenges Have difficulty leaving home Have mobility limitations Have demanding work schedules Are caregivers Prefer an in-home collection experience Need recurring laboratory monitoring Have difficulty getting to traditional collection locations Supporting More Than One Type of Practice TeQuaidas Diagnostics can support physician offices, concierge practices, specialty providers, home health organizations, and other healthcare partners that need reliable specimen collection support. What This Can Mean for Your Staff When a patient cannot easily get to a collection site, your team may spend additional time coordinating the next step. Mobile collection can help move that part of the process forward. Your staff can focus on patient care while our phlebotomy team focuses on specimen collection. A More Convenient Experience for Patients The TeQuaidas model brings the collection experience to the patient rather than requiring every patient to travel to a laboratory. Patients can schedule a visit at a convenient home or office location, while specimens are directed to the appropriate laboratory for processing.

Better access to specimen collection can make it easier for patients to complete the next step after a lab order. Partner With TeQuaidas Diagnostics If your practice has patients who frequently delay or miss laboratory appointments because getting to a collection site is difficult, mobile specimen collection may be an option worth adding to your workflow. TeQuaidas Diagnostics serves Metro Atlanta with certified mobile phlebotomy services and same-week availability.
